The work in article 2302418 by Zhijian Xie, Zhuo Chen, Changyu Shao, and co-workers, confirms for the first time that amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) particles can directly infiltrate inside fibrils and mediate the phase transformation for collagen mineralization, improving the mechanical properties of the mineralized collagen and significantly promoting dentin remineralization, which provides a new mechanistic understanding of collagen mineralization and a promising strategy for hard tissue.
